A [(18)F]-FDG PET study was performed in a 44 year old man with proximal kinesigenic choreoathetosis (PKC) secondary to idiopathic primary hypoparathyroidism (IPH) before and 1 year after calcium/calcitriol therapy. The [(18)F]-FDG PET performed before the start of the therapy disclosed a significant bilateral hypometabolism in the ventral striatum. One year later, with the patient still under calcium/calcitriol therapy and free of any occurrence of PKC episodes, the [(18)F]-FDG PET did not show the previously detected hypometabolism. The hypometabolism of the ventral striatum secondary to hypocalcaemia seems to play a crucial part in the pathogenesis of paroxysmal kinesigenic choreoathetosis associated with IPH.
对一名44岁患有继发于特发性原发性甲状旁腺功能减退症(IPH)的近端运动诱发性舞蹈手足徐动症(PKC)的男性患者,在钙/骨化三醇治疗前及治疗1年后进行了一项[(18)F]-FDG PET研究。治疗开始前进行的[(18)F]-FDG PET显示腹侧纹状体存在明显的双侧代谢减低。一年后,患者仍在接受钙/骨化三醇治疗且未出现任何PKC发作,[(18)F]-FDG PET未显示先前检测到的代谢减低。低钙血症继发的腹侧纹状体代谢减低似乎在与IPH相关的阵发性运动诱发性舞蹈手足徐动症的发病机制中起关键作用。
